With hydrated silica and glycerin at its core, the skinceuticals micro-exfoliating scrub polishes away dead skin cells while conditioning for daily use. Its creamy texture glides easily over damp skin, making it suitable for most skin types and for those seeking a gentle face polish that visibly smooths roughness and improves tone. Hydrated silica delivers mild mechanical exfoliation while glycerin helps maintain moisture, so you can remove dead skin without stripping the complexion. Designed as a chemical free scrub alternative, it supports clarity and radiance when used as part of a professional skincare routine or daily regimen for softer complexion.

What it does

Skinceuticas Micro-Exfolating Scrub uses mild mechanical action from hydrated silica to lift away impurities and surface buildup. The formulation targets uneven texture and dullness to promote a softer, more even complexion without aggressive abrasion. Glycerin conditions the skin during cleansing so the surface feels hydrated rather than stripped. Because the formula focuses on mechanical exfoliation, it can act as an alternative to chemical resurfacing treatments for those preferring a physical scrub.

How to use

Apply a small amount to damp skin, then gently massage in circular motions across the face, concentrating on areas of roughness or congestion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Use as part of your regular regimen—frequency depends on skin sensitivity; many users report daily to several-times-weekly use is well tolerated for smoother skin.

Performance and results

Regular use helps improve texture and clarity, working as a deep pore cleanser to reduce visible roughness and support radiance. This exfoliating face wash-style scrub is positioned for both at-home luxury beauty face care and use alongside professional skincare steps, offering a derm exfoliator feel without introducing chemical acids.

Ingredients and care
